Teabowl by Raku Donyu: A black and white photograph of a ceramic teabowl. The bowl has a wide mouth and rounded body with a small foot at the base. The surface appears rough and textured, with darker spots and patches throughout. The bowl is glossy in some areas and matte in others, giving it a mottled appearance. The interior of the bowl is darker than the exterior. A small inscription is visible on the lower exterior, but the numbers are not clearly legible. The background of the image is light gray, with a slight shadow cast by the bowl.
